- Phone interview, horrible connection, was hard to hear

- Admitted he was behind last year because of OH St rules that did not let him participate in 2009 OTAs

- Was asked flat-out about his fumbling last year, early. Could not really hear the response

- Says he loves to dish out punishment

- Likes the direction the offense is going to be more balanced

- Has confidence in Matt to run the offense

--------------
Nothing really groundbreaking or surprising but he needs to talk with anytimeuwant to get a new phone.

He is in Flagstaff. The cell reception up there was horrible!

You must not have Verizon. Mine was perfect.

Well there's your problem. AT&T's coverage is crap.

Trust me. I agree with you 100%. In major cities, the coverage is fine. Go into any outskirts like Flagstaff and my new place in CA, reception goes to ****. It's strictly for the iPhone.

I was hoping the iphone would come to Verizon but at this point I have no idea what is going on, I'll probably buy a Droid X once I get paid this friday. Then I'll hopefully be headed to flag sunday night for two days to watch camp.

The inside scoop is that Verizon is eventually going to get the iPhone. It's a matter of "when." The catch is it wont have all the features that AT&T's iPhone has.

I own apple stock

I specifically dropped AT&T due to coverage issues especially when traveling and driving through rural areas. Verizon frreaking rocks. I will never leave them not matter what. When I need a phone in an emergency I want it to work.

verizon has the best signal by far, sprint comes in at number two and also is the cheapest. F at&t and its stupid phone. I enjoy my sprint droid thouroughly and get great reception everywhere but when in the middle of nowhere.

You do know that it's possible to use an iPhone with other carriers, right?

I don't know what it is with you guys, but I get horrendous service from Verizon. I miss a solid 10% of calls, get no more than one bar in my home, and nothing at work. Even then, the call quality is bad. I live in the middle of Las Vegas, so there shouldn't be any problems. Although I do get five bars when I'm standing in the middle of a desert, so I guess that's helpful? :shrug:

I've tried five different phones, and had the same problem with all. As soon as my contract is up, I'm switching to AT&T.

Anyways, on to Beanie: I'm really happy this guy seems to be settled in Arizona, and it's going to be really exciting to see how well he plays when his heart is actually in it. Our offense is going to roll with him and Hightower back there.

I have zero issues with Verizon in every part of Vegas I have ever been in. The probloems you describe I had with AT&T.

LMAO this went from Beanie talking with Rome to a Verizon/cell phone discussion.

Thanks Shane for the write up. Did anyone hear his answer about the fumbling, I'd be curious to know what he said.

Man - I read thru all this hoping to get more on Beanie ...

You have the wrong thread, Brighteyes. This thread is not about Beanie, but about cell phone coverage. :)

But seriously, you did not miss much. Was very short, not much new, and standard media-savvy responses.

:lol: I did, but I don't remember now. The interview was very bland, nothing to it, so I doubt the answer was anything interesting.
